Episode notes
Adaptive Audio Drives Faster Brain Entrainment
- Neurosity combines real-time EEG classifiers with adaptive audio to actively drive brain entrainment rather than just reflect it.
- Reinforcement learning personalizes music changes to rapidly increase targeted brain activity and perceived focus.
Process EEG Locally To Prevent Data Loss
- Process EEG locally on-device to avoid packet loss and preserve continuous raw data for machine learning.
- Avoid relying on Bluetooth streaming for critical EEG ML tasks because dropped samples break model performance.
Gamma Entrainment Enables Rapid Flow
- Targeting gamma produces a distinct energized focus useful for complex problem solving and flow.
- Neurosity's music entrainment can shrink a 20-minute ramp-up to about two minutes and sustain focus for the critical first 15–20 minutes.
